The USA government is rolling out facial recognition as the *only* entry requirement for Global Entry members at a select group of airports. Once these started popping up, we did some research and found that the US Government had announced the measure with very little fanfare some time. ago. For example, see https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/national-media-release/global-entry-celebrates-10-years-expediting-international-travel .

Is this a sign of what’s to come? (Thanks for bubbling this up to us, Caleb!)
